@danielberndt mentioned that the font on our blog could be improved for non-retina displays

Could consider rendering only headings with the custom font.

I'd love to see screenshots of a non retina screen if possible. Changing the font on the blog/the entire website is a rather big operation and imho not worth it.

Here's a screenshot from a recent chrome window on my external monitor using OS X 10.11.5.

As examples have a look at the two ll from the initial Well, and at the horizontal line of any e. Not sure whether the font lacks proper hinting, or it is a general issue with any font of that width.

This issue is certainly not the end of the world, but once you start noticing the lack crispness, it's kinda hard to solely focus on the content. (Which is great, btw! :) )

Just noticed: seeing the screenshot on a retina screen certainly gives the wrong impression since the image gets blurred. So I recommend downloading it, and zooming into it, like this:

Is anyone looking in to this issue?

[gr2m]

nope, take it away if you like :) but note that we have #312 coming up which will be a redesign. But doing some research about this issue might be helpful either way
